[Heeplist] Heeplist] UH singers

[Igor Shveitser]

 Mick Box is the only band member who's qualities are even better today than they were back then. To me his modern solos are very interesting and even have a touch of variety. And don't forget: then he wasn't the only one playing the solos, Ken did a lot of them as well, which, in turn, perhaps created that magic which you miss by now, David. That band was less predictable and schematic, that's for sure. But still I like modern version.
Cheers, Igor
